First, I want to thank everyone for a most wonderful welcome. All comments have been received with great interest. This looks like the beginning of a grand adventure with LPMP!
I thought it wise to initially search for potions akin to my past preferences. The baseline would be Tuscany Per Uomo, my personal favorite commercial fragrance to date. It has been described as “a wonderful, suave aromatic fougere that smells divine… citrus... along with the brilliant opening of basil and lavender…The heart of earthy caraway and herbal notes is where this opens up brilliantly. The taragon and anise...in perfect proportion … the orange blossom keeps it lighter and more floral... the brilliant, sharpness of the patchouli shining through from the base. It becomes more earthy and warm with the oakmoss, leather and key note of tonka bean.” From this point, I begin. I must say that the LPMP product descriptions are most well written and enticing. They are wonderful pieces of art in word! Makes it a joy reading about all the scents. I can hardly pass on any of these perfumes given how well they are described.
Many have suggested going with a sampler which sounds like a great approach affording me the opportunity to experiment with a diverse selection economically. Also, despite my early preference for pheromones being kept separate from perfumes, I'll likely try phero-enhanced samples to better assess both attributes simultaneously before making a larger purchase later. Based on recommendations, reviews and explorations through LPMP’s vast inventory of perfumes, the following are likely to be included in my initial foray:
Brother Brimstone,
Bodice Ripper,
Love Potion Homme and
The Sand Box.
For something crazy...and in deference to our three "mystical" Maine Coon cats, we'll, also, throw in Tails of Mystery. Should be quite the entertaining mix.
For the other half of the sampler we'll likely go with pheromone enhanced scents including:
Super for Men 2,
Salute,
Teddy Man 2,
TMI - Unisex and
Voracious.
For even more fun we'll throw in the Dirty Old Man as it appears I am imminently qualified for such a mixture, as already attested.
BTW, the female predilection at LPMP is refreshing and exciting. Who better to develop such creative potions! I am fascinated with opinions from the opposite sex, especially where perfumes are involved. After all, one of my primary targets is to be well presented to my female partner! To that end a female perspective is critical and most welcome. Also, the feminine POV will be critical when I'm ready for suggestions on what to buy for her. In any event, I always welcome any help I can get. Thanks again to all! Any other thoughts will be welcomed as I'm sure this is just the beginning. We'll keep everyone posted as the journey continues.
